​HARBOR VIEW--Secretary-General
of Curaçao’s Social Economic Council SER Raul Henriquez recently paid a
courtesy visit to SER St. Maarten where he met with SER Chairman Delano Damien

Chief

made during Henriquez’s work visit to the Netherlands September 2017.This week’s meeting
on St. Maarten was the first time since the inception of SER St. Maarten that
there has been a formal meeting between the Secretaries-General. Richardson
thanked his colleague for the continued support in particular after Hurricane
Irma’s passing.

With Henriquez’
visit, a first step was taken to further strengthen the working relationship
between the secretariats of SER Curaçao and SER S.t Maarten. The two
secretaries-general expressed the need in that session to jointly work on the
institutional reinforcement of the advisory role that they fulfill, to continue
and improve the working relationship with SER Netherlands and to promote best
practices, cooperation and exchange of data in order to learn from each other
and strengthen each other.
